Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the RM119,800 2WD. Its 65.69 kWh battery and 355 km quoted range beat the iWD’s 342 km figure, while its 181 hp output is the trade-off. Pay the extra RM10,000 for the RM129,800 iWD if 275 hp matters more than the longer quoted range. It also gets a 69.77 kWh battery. On paper, the mechanical figures are the key distinction, so check the equipment list before spending more.

Verdict

The iCaur 03 is not priced as a budget EV SUV: its entry point is RM19,800 above the BYD Atto 2 and RM24,800 above the Seres 3, though it matches the Aion Y Plus and iCaur V23. The two versions make a clear performance split, but the higher-output iWD has the lower quoted range. Check the actual equipment list before paying the RM10,000 step up.
